Historically, the whole world based its economy on mineral resources, being these the maximum source of income for the countries, putting to test in many moments the capacities that nations had, to exploit mines, commercialize minerals and make their fortune grow more and more.
It is impressive how in the last decades the commercialization of minerals, grew considerably, comparing its development with other economic times; any economy revolves around commercial foundations, which allow any government to strengthen policies of concurrence, in matters of financial volume and therefore create an industrial system, which allows to found a strong and productive nation.
Taking mineral resources as the main export product for any country has its advantages and disadvantages, as in any other profit. It can be mentioned that some of the advantages, is to have liquidity in the coffers of the nation, thus allowing a constant flow of money and creating a habit of massive economic growth.
On the other hand, the most evident disadvantage in this case, is the economic anchorage that the nation suffers, where other activities of financial exploitation, do not obtain the ideal subtraction of resources, being the cattle raising, agriculture, manufacturing companies, among other activities, the most affected in these cases and on which the debacle begins, that submerges the country in socio-economic problems.
All developing nations have a multidisciplinary economic model, where its real financial anchor is in the different economic activities and the export of different items is noted in the main commercial markets. Having the ability to diversify national income is what really keeps a country developed, where the economy gains strength over time; on the other hand, underdeveloped nations or on the way to it, maintain trade relations based on a low volume of resources, being in many cases minerals the anchor of these.
It is for this reason that the countries that manage to see beyond the mining exploitation, begin to experience economic changes that shield the country's finances and allow progress in social, political and economic matters. Financial markets are controlled by those rulers who really seek the expansion of national patrimony, thus applying economic strategies that make nations great powers, delivering quality of life to the population and a high business return for any investor.
